Beautiful roads around there, fantastic riding, but the wind, WTF is with that?? LOL. Seriously, at one point I spent 2 hours at what felt like a 45 degree angle, and unable to relax for even a second. I think I check the weather, and it was sustained winds at 20-30 knots, with gusts up to 45. OMFG ! And then the heat, it was 117 in Phoenix when we headed out of the metro, but it dropped to the low 90's up there in elevation.
Be prepared for an awesome ride though, As much as it was challenging both mentally and physically, I loved every bit of it and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
I know you have your trip well planned and mapped out, but, if you find you have a few extra hours when your near Flagstaff, try to drop south into Sedona, I have been there 8 times over the years, and think its one of the most beautiful places on earth. Its amazing there.
Have fun, be safe. Watch out for the tar snakes :eek:
